SLAS Discov. 2018 Feb;23(2):218-223. doi: 10.1177/2472555217731983. Epub 2017 Sep 22.

Abstract

Screening is a methodology widely used in biological and biomedical research. There are numerous visualization methods to validate screening data quality but very few visualization applications capable of hit selection. Here, we present MightyScreen ( mightyscreen.net ), a novel web-based application designed for visual data evaluation as well as visual hit selection. We believe MightyScreen is an intuitive and interactive addition to conventional hit selection methods. We also provide study cases showing how MightyScreen is used to visually explore screening data and make hit selections.

Keywords: hit selection; interactive visualization; open source; screening; visualization.
